    Teachers are tricky things to wrap - odd sizes, don't "sit" still etc

    :rotfl:

    thank you for the giggle, Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • Thanks for all the lovely welcomes - much appreciated.

    LAST POSTING DATE FOR PARCELS IS TOMORROW

    :eek::eek: Only have one parcel to post but the contents aren't bought yet!

    Yesterday - found most of the kitchen floor. Will try to sweep and wash later in the week. Also emptied and cleaned the bins.

    Today - Living room etc - dusting done - what I can get to - need to treat this as a work in progress. Can't vacuum as OH is sleeping. First batch of cards done and posted. Will try to do the rest while watching Christmas food tv later - can this count towards menu planning?:)

    If energy allows may do HHI later, but need to be sure I can wake a bit earlier for doc appointment tomorrow so might quit while i'm ahead.
